[xmail] xmail 1.27-1.1+b1 on Debian 7
Hi, I've just installed xmail 1.27-1.1+b1 on a debian 7.5.0 station and I can't get emails in my mailbox. There isn't troubles in sending emails to the world but not receiving from the world. The smtp log say that's everything Ok. Recently I was running on a debian 6 station xmail 1.27-1.1 perfectly. It would be sad to have to change the software of mail server after all but if I can not fix this I will have to migrate to postfix and lose all my previous settings and waste time configuring the new server. Some idea about this issue? Thanks Carlos Bazán ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
[xmail] Re: -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP)
Hi there! Well, if I have voice for it, I agree with many of the issues here.=20 First of all, I am the only guilt of the -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP) for this case, as I didn't thoroughly read the docs..=20 Anyways, I think as a good benefit for all the logging of I was not able to find 'the_file.tab', so quitting. RTFM XDDD!! Personaly, I am not too keen to autocreate missing files. Or if it has to be someday that way, please, make this functionability suitable to be activated through a flag a startup (and not to be the option by default). Kind of 'system tuning up'.. Anyways I have to mention that for me it has been the easiest to setup I ever used. It is just great!!=20 Just the issue about logging, but anyways the code is so clear and clean..=20 Thanks!!! J.

Let me put it to you this way. If the files folders xmail requires, are not all there at xmail startup time, then xmail should stop, rather than continuing. This has the following benefits: 1. The administrator will *know* that file 'a' is missing and will go fix it. 2. The administrator will likely resolve their problem without sending help requests here. Now #2 is a good thing I think. Just look at the subject line on this. Invalid syntax on PASS command (POP)... How does that assist an administrator to look at the pop3links.tab file and find it is not there. You're not making us self sufficient. Oh, and your last comment... How about you take care and configure your system software correctly instead? I agree, but in the real world, stuff happens and some diagnostics would help. I'm not asking for much... Xmail error: required file pop3links.tab not found. Rob :-) =20 _ It might look like I'm doing nothing, but on a cellular level, I'm quite busy. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Davide Libenzi Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 7:10 AM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] Re: -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP) On Sat, 23 Feb 2008, Rob Arends wrote: I believe that, at startup, if xmail does not find ALL the folders it requires, then it should do one of two things. =20 1. create the missing folders Or 2. terminate after logging to the log_files/ screen/ event_log, depending on platform and or debug mode. =20 =20 Currently it. 3. continues without error and throws up seemingly un related errors that cause you to look elsewhere for the fault. =20 *** I'm sending this as a feature request. *** Why stopping there?

[xmail] Re: -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP)
Thanks for the advice Davide!=20
So I inquired the next issue with the '-ERR Invalid auth or access
denied' error. I have inserted/edit many debug points in the source
code. I found where the problem was:
* In POP3Utils.cpp:
POP3_HANDLE UPopBuildSession(const char *pszDomain, const char
*pszUsrName,
const char *pszUsrPass, SYS_INET_ADDR const
*pPeerInfo)
{
[...]
if (pszUsrPass !=3D NULL strcmp(pszUsrPass, pUI-pszPassword)
!=3D 0) {
ErrSetErrorCode(ERR_INVALID_PASSWORD);
UsrFreeUserInfo(pUI);
return INVALID_POP3_HANDLE;
}
printf([POP3Utils.cpp] UPopBuildSession[1]:\n); // I reach
this checkpoint
if (UsrPOP3Lock(pUI) 0) {
UsrFreeUserInfo(pUI);
return INVALID_POP3_HANDLE;
}
printf([POP3Utils.cpp] UPopBuildSession[2]:\n); // Checkpoint
not reached [!]
[...]
}
Here clearly saw that the password validation was ok after issuing 'PASS
the_passwd' to the server. After it, was necessary to add the next
checkpoint:
* In UsrUtils.cpp:
int UsrPOP3Lock(UserInfo *pUI)
{
char szLockPath[SYS_MAX_PATH] =3D ;
UsrGetPop3LocksPath(pUI, szLockPath, sizeof(szLockPath));
=09
printf([UsrUtils.cpp] UsrPOP3Lock[1]: szLockPath =3D %s\n,
szLockPath);
if (SysLockFile(szLockPath) 0)
return ErrGetErrorCode();
return 0;
}
That threw straight to my eyes:
[UsrUtils.cpp] UsrPOP3Lock[1]: szLockPath =3D
/var/lib/xmail/pop3locks/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
And not, the directory 'pop3locks' didn't exist! After reviewing the
documentation, paying special attention to the MailRoot structure
section, I realized that still many directories were not yet created...
So, I crated the as appointed by the doc, and problem fixed! xDD
So, again, the most valuable advice once again was: read the docs
carefully! x
Only one proposal for the xmail developers: maybe to be more specific
with the '-ERR Invalid auth or access denied' message, to differentiate
whether the fail is owed to authentication or to file
creation/manipulation... ;)
Thanks!
JC

Maybe Xmail doesn't accept empty passwords?
POP3 does not accept empty passwords:

[xmail] Question
Hello all. Due to my bad English I have some problems to configure Xmail. Some time ago in www.ordb.org, my server was clasificated as an open relay. I changed in the server.tab to put: AllowSmtpVRFY 1 and with this change ordb said it´s OK. But yesterday someone used my server to send mail without permission (I think so). Here are what the server sent to me: -- [00] XMail bounce: Rcpt=[[EMAIL PROTECTED]];Error=[500 error] [01] Error sending message [1035840086237.3160.moebius] from [carlinux.dyndns.org].
